You see it all the time. Managers and leaders demand excellence.  Your KPI's, OKR's, SMART objectives, and so on, keep you on your toes and in the know of what gets you to the next level.  What's not measured is heart, passion, and intent.  There seldom is enough time to identify rising talent because we're too in the weeds trying to stay afloat.

There is a way forward through this - if not through you than it's with those around you.  Working to promote your colleagues, even your mid-level manager to a higher position will do you an enormous amount of good for your career.

Know this: Your accomplishments can take you only so far - your relationships can take you further.  Bet on the right people to help progress in your career and you'll find enormous rewards in the long-term.

An incredible deep dive into the psychology of creating winners so you too can win. That's in this week's episode of the Working Ant.
